I want to be prego. What do u think is happening?

Answer
Mandi, sorry for the delay!

First of all, don't panic!  Second, pregnancy tests are not 100%, so maybe it is mistaken.  Nevertheless, if things are weird, I would schedule an appointment with the doctor just to check things out.  Periods should start occurring again within 2-6 weeks after the abortion.  Did you go back for the checkup at the clinic or doctor after the abortion?  If not, just let the doctor know that's what you're concerned about.  I know it's gotta be difficult to admit stuff like that but it's more important for your body and baby that's hopefully on the way!  If your doctor is someone you can't tell, just see another doctor.  I hope all goes well and please let me know if I could be of any more help.
